Locking Patch

The ND Patch coating process produces a completely dry product that is fused to the fastener and
is ready to use right out of the box. ND Patch performs immediately upon assembly with no curing
time required.

How ND Patch Works:

When assembled with a mating part the resilient ND Patch is

compressed. The compressed engineered plastic (typically a Nylon Patch)
provides locking action in the thread instead of at the bearing surface due
to its vibration dampening characteristics. In general, the resilience of
ND Patch holds the fastener in place without adhesives or thread
distortion. Due to its resilience, Patch can be repeatedly adjusted and
reused.
ND Patch is normally positioned one to three threads back from the end
of the fastener to assure ease of starting. The normal coating length of the
Patch is four to six threads. Special Patch location and coating length can be
specified for specific applications.

Features:

Saves Time: Fasteners coated with ND Patch can be automatically fed through standard
feeding devices.

Retains Full Strength: ND Patch process involves no drilling or milling, so there is no loss
of the fastener's strength or hardness and any troublesome burrs or chips.

Saves Money: Use of ND Patch eliminates the need for costly lock washers, cotter pins, or
castellated nuts. You get a close fit without the costs involved in obtaining close tolerances.
Moreover, ND Patch is less expensive than applying bottled thread locking compounds at
the point of assembly.

Resists Heat & Cold: ND Patch meets and exceeds IFI Specifications 124 & 524 as well as
Military specification MIL-DTL-18240F, Type P, for temperatures from -70°F (-56°C) to
+250°F (121°C).

Chemical Resistant: ND Patch will not dry, shrink, or lose resiliency when exposed to
commercial solvents, alcohol, gasoline, oil, caustic soda, jet fuel, etc.

Reusable: Fasteners coated with ND Patch can be reused repeatedly without damage to
threads. ND Patch is particularly resistant to deformation, which makes it ideal for repeated

Thread Coating

ND LM-1293®

ND LM-1293 is an automotive approved process in which fasteners are accurately coated with
one of a variety of thread masking and lubricating materials. The use of a Teflon® type material
and a proprietary binder system in ND LM1293 makes it the ideal coating for many applications.

Description:

ND LM-1293 can be applied to male or female, ferrous or non-ferrous threaded fasteners

of virtually any finish. It is a cross-linked coating providing excellent solvent resistance,
high temperature resistance, e-coat resistance (as specified under GM6076-M), resistance
to weld spatter, and improvement to torque-tension properties.
ND LM-1293 lubricates fastener threads to reduce driving friction, heat buildup, and
thread galling in long rundowns while helping to ensure uniform clamp loading.
To meet your specific application needs, ND LM-1293 employs a wide range of
polymers, including fluorinated ethylene polymer (Teflon®-type) material.

Features:

Reliable Masking: ND LM-1293 prevents undesirable substances such as electro-

deposited undercoating, weld spatter and some other materials from adhering to fastener
threads.

Low Heat Process: Unlike competitive processes which often subject parts to extremely
high temperatures that may damage or discolor the fastener, ND's unique patented
process employs minimal heat.

Minimal Pre-cleaning Requirements: Unlike competitive processes that require parts be

completely free of oil or other rust preventative coatings, only parts with excess oil or
surface contaminants may require pre-cleaning for ND LM-1293 processing.

Increases Productivity: By providing additional lubricity, ND LM-1293 speeds assembly

operations and increases productivity.

Eliminates Capping and Plugging: ND LM-1293 eliminates the need to cap male and
plug female threads.

Note: Minimum Order Quantities Apply. ND LM-1293® is a registered trademark of ND Industries.

Blind Press Nuts

Series CFB & CFBS
CFB & CFBS blind, sealed-thread, press nuts are designed to Series Material Finish
provide extended thread lengths in thin sheet metal. Press nuts
provide a seal against the entrance of dirts, oils, moisture, and Heat-treated
corrosive atmospheres. They are usually more economical to CFB Zinc* Clear
use than nut and screw-type hardware that require elaborate Carbon Steel
seals and special assembly procedures. 300 Series Passivated

Studs For Stainless

Steel Sheets
Series CHTS

Continued from previous page.

Installation Procedure
Drill or punch the proper size hole in the parent material
and apply the recommended force, with a standard shop
press, to fully seat the fastener. For best results, a flat
punch with a minimum hardness of Rockwell C55 should be
used along with a special anvil that has a raised ring. This
will assure full displacement of the stainless sheet material
into the clinch ring of the stud.
Be sure to monitor the height of the ring on the anvil
periodically and replace anvil when ring height wears down
to .005 in. (.13 mm) to assure desired performance.

TECHNIQUES FOR BETTER WELDING INSTALLATION TIPS
Be sure the electrodes, sheet material and weld nuts themselves are clean and Electrode force is the pressure applied by electrodes on the weld nut and
contain no grease, rust or burrs. If installed welds look good, but pushout sheet material to squeeze them together and make good contact.
performance is poor, check for the following causes:
∑ Electrode force too high Low electrode force may cause discoloration, flashing, burning or spatter.
∑ Low current level
∑ Dirty panel High electrode force may compress weld projections before correct
∑ Nuts not centered temperature is achieved or push projections of the unheated weld nut
∑ Hold time too short, causing insufficient cooling into the sheet.
∑ Inconsistent pressure regulator
If threads are distorted after installation, check for the following causes: Secondary current setting controls the heat applied to the Captive weld nut
∑ Long weld time and sheet material.
∑ High current level
∑ Electrode force too high N/A = Not Available

Recommended Installation Procedure

To achieve the correct installation results for Captive self-clinching fasteners, please follow
the 11 simple rules listed below:

DO: 1. Provide the properly sized mounting hole for each fastener.
2. Place fastener in hole on punched side of panel.
3. Be sure the fastener shank or pilot is squarely within the hole before pressure is applied.
4. Apply a steady squeezing force between press and anvil.
5. Use sufficient force to embed the clinching ring around its entire circumference.

DO NOT: 6. Do not install steel and stainless fasteners in aluminum before the panels have been anodized.
7. Do not deburr mounting holes, as the rough metal is used to help clinch the fastener into the sheet.
8. Do not install the fastener closer to the edge of the sheet than specified
in the dimension table for the fastener in use.
9. Do not over squeeze, as this may flatten the fastener head, distort the thread and buckle the panel.
10. Do not install fastener with a hammer blow; doing so does not allow sufficient time for the sheet metal
to flow into the clinching profile. A squeezing force is required for optimum performance.
11. Do not install the screw in the head side of the fastener, but from the
opposite side, which directs the load toward the sheet.

NOTES: 1. All installation, pushout and torque-out force references are nominal, based on recommended installation
specifications and procedures. Differences in mounting hole dimensions, sheet material and installation
methods may alter this data. Testing the performance of this product in application is suggested. Samples
are available for this purpose upon request.

2. Dimensional and performance characteristics are subject to change without notice.

Galvanic Corrosion Chart

Galvanic Corrosion is a concern when selecting a fastener to be used in a panel of dissimilar metal,
especially when it will be subjected to moisture or water. Ideally, the fastener should be the more noble
metal and the panel the less noble metal, to reduce the effects of corrosion. Generally, metals close to
one another on the chart will not have a strong effect on one another. However, the further apart the
materials are on the chart, the stronger the corrosion effect will be on the least noble metal. Therefore,
since the fastener is the smaller element, it needs to be made of the more noble metal so it will not be
attacked. The larger panel can be of the less noble metal, where corrosion will not affect the larger
surface as readily.
